Hello
Does anyone know the proper command for attaching 2 USB board Apollo BTC devices to an Ubuntu linux machine?
Would it look something like this with both "/dev/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyACM1" being the devices connected to PC?
apollo-miner -host "*.pool.org" -port 3333 -user "wallet_address".Apollo -pswd x -comport /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyACM1 -brd_ocp 75 -osc 50 -ao_mode 1
It looks like the miner software only can control one miner at a time, so you would need to execute two instances of it.
Here's what the official script does:
#!/bin/bash
#This Script finds all your connected Apollo BTC Standard Hashboards and starts each one with the settings below in a screen session. Please see the miner_start.sh file for additional directions.
start_hashboards()
{
while [ $1 ];
do
screen -dmS miner ./futurebit-miner -comport $1 -ao_mode 1 $settings
sleep 1
shift
done
}
#find and start external hashboards
ports=$(ls /dev/ttyACM*)
start_hashboards $ports
echo "Started"
You could either do that, or simply run them manually, based on your command it would be something like this:
screen -dmS miner0 apollo-miner -host "*.pool.org" -port 3333 -user "wallet_address".Apollo -pswd x -comport /dev/ttyACM0 -brd_ocp 75 -osc 50 -ao_mode 1
sleep 1
screen -dmS miner1 apollo-miner -host "*.pool.org" -port 3333 -user "wallet_address".Apollo -pswd x -comport /dev/ttyACM1 -brd_ocp 75 -osc 50 -ao_mode 1
You can then do
screen -r miner0 to go back to see the output of miner0. Same for miner1. To go back from that view, you can press Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-D. You can see what's running with
screen -list
